Is it just me or does anyone else find John's knives are very easy to to get really sharp ?
I spent ages yesterday sharpening one of my Swamprat knives and although it cut better it was still quite poor ( being 1/4" thick doesn't help ).
Anyway as I had my stuff out I figured I'd convex the edge on my TTSK, I was amazed how quickly I got this thing crazy sharp, even after just the most course sandpaper it was scraping hair and cleanly slicing post it's. By the time I'd finished it was causing hairs to fly off my leg faster than a Gillette Mach3.
My JK Hiker also gets sharp very easily.
Anyway a little pic of my newly touched up old faithfull~
